On my old server, and most other devices I have run, there is a provided mail
program.
On my new CentOS 6 server, running postfix as the MTA, I cannot send command-line email via mail
- the tool is not there.
When running a yum whatprovides mail
call, I get nothing helpful back:
$ yum whatprovides mail

You can use "*/mail" and/or "*bin/mail" to get that behaviour

How is user-to-user mail supposed to be sent on CentOS 6?
